Local TIMBERSPORTS® legend and 2019 Australian Trophy Champion Laurence O’Toole from Doncaster, Victoria will be looking to defend the title he won in Geelong last year after an epic final battle with Tasmanian up and comer Kody Steers. But hot favorite has to be fellow Victorian and newly crowned STIHL TIMBERSPORTS® World Champion Brayden Meyer from Doncaster, Victoria.

The local heroes will be joined by fellow Gold Medal winning Chopperoos, Brad De Losa (NSW), Mitch Argent (QLD) and Glen Gillam (VIC). The fantastic five were crowned world champions earlier this month for a record breaking sixth time.
